Question

The Great Pyramid of Giza is a square pyramid located by El Giza, Egypt. It is believed that the original height of the pyramid was 480.6 feet. The base is a square with side length of 755.9 feet. Find the volume of the original Great Pyramid of Giza. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

91535846.6 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume V of a square pyramid is given by the next formula

V= l²h/3 where l is the side length and h is the height.

Substituting with h = 480.6 and  l=755.9

$V=l^{2} h/3\\V=755.9^{2} (480.6)/3\\V=274607540/3\\V=91535846.6$

Therefore, this is the volume of the original Great Pyramid of Giza
